With Bandcamp sold twice within a couple of years and Spotify on the nose, Subvert.fm is tackling the idea of an artist owned internet, or rather, an artist run, collectively owned music marketplace. Interested? It's easy to become a supporter or artist/label founding member.

Join me in asking the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to protect our pensions and the climate and stop investing in oil, gas, coal and pipelines. A legal case is already underway. Itβs time to stop investing in fossil fuels and recommit to net-zero. win.newmode.net/shiftaction/...
Excellent. Most Canadians know this. It's the CONservatives who continue to stoke fear-mongering on crime. I'll never support a party that instills fear in the populace.
He's angry and squirming. Good.
And they call dems-liberals "snowflakes." ππ
PoiLIEvre will only bring Trumpian options. He's a Maple Magat. Let's support any who jump the CON ship. ππ
Watching from Canada - congratulations NYC on your new mayor elect!

Mike Johnson can eff off.
Liking your bio, too. Canadian here also tilting at windmills. I'm thinking of starting up a Raging Granny chapter for public political venting. π

A Message for Johnson
The US funds the bulk of biomedical research globally by far. It's not like other countries can simply take up the slack. The more likely: people leave research, new people don't become researchers. There is no happy ending. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
Argh! π‘
Brilliant!
Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right.
Donβt believe me?
Listen to what these nurses have say:
Gone is βI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,β Maya Angelouβs transformative best-selling 1970 memoir chronicling her struggles with racism and trauma. Two copies of βMein Kampfβ by Adolf Hitler are still on the shelves. Gone is βMemorializing the Holocaust,β Janet Jacobsβs 2010 examination of how female victims of the Holocaust have been portrayed and remembered. βThe Camp of the Saintsβ by Jean Raspail is still on the shelves. The 1973 novel, which envisions a takeover of the Western world by immigrants from developing countries, has been embraced by white supremacists and promoted by Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser. βThe Bell Curve,β which argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people, is still there. But a critique of the book was pulled. The Trump administrationβs decision to order the banning of certain books from the U.S. Naval Academyβs library is a case study in ideological censorship, alumni and academics say.
Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library:

So, maps now updated only via DJT approval and his sanctioned sharpie? Wow.
π¨π¦ Canadian here. We watched Absolutely Fabulous late nights years ago on our CBC. Now I watch re-runs on streaming channels. It is in my top 10 favourites for iconic comedy series! The writing and acting- brilliant. Love Patsy and Edina. What a pair. β€οΈππ₯°
A 404 Media reader made a much clearer, better formatted PDF version of the declassified, World War II-era government guide to "Simple Sabotage" and resisting fascism and asked that I share it widely so here it is:

Trump is so optimistic about Liberation Day that heβs dumping his Truth Social stock, to the tune of over $2B, before our entire economy bottoms out like a Tesla Cybertruck hitting a pothole.
You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itβs important, itβs urgentβand it needs to be shared far and wide.
